15 November 2009 ☆~

Just came home from a trip down to Times Square.. a lil tired and still sick now.. but somehow i still wanted to type this.

Good news. My group's final project animation got the finalist for the Panorama competition thingy.. so 3 of us are entitled to fly to Hong Kong next month to participate in the boot camp and final competition. There will be mentors guiding us on how to enhance our short more, and then resubmit it for judging. It'll be a 5-day trip to HK Cyberport, from 11 - 15 Dec. All sponsored by Autodesk. Hopefully i could get my passport done within this coming week..

Wanted to have a ParrotLion gathering today at Times Square, but the other 3 members werent available.. so only Mark and Beng were there. Went to see the Anime Hanabi Festival thingy, but to me it's nothing much ^^;; met ngaicharm on the way home o_o;

Watched 2012 the movie in the afternoon. I don't really know about the others, but to me, it's kinda boring.. it was a typical disaster movie to me.. Someone discovers something, some other people don't believe him, some tries to keep a secret; then showing lives of different individuals from different places, in the end they meet each other; effects, effects, and more effects; people die, sacrifice themselves; and the list goes on.... To me, it's just a 'visual effects' movie.

But, having that aside, it makes me think. We humans busy living our own lives, everyday, selfishly. We hardly think of the world, the things that's happening around us, the people around us, and who care for us, the things we do.. (I don't mean everyone is like this though) .. then until one day, something really bad happens to us, we only thought of repenting, regretting, apologising over the things that we do.. Just like in the movie. The end of the world was coming, and people all over the world started to pray so hardly, lifting signboards asking others to repent cos the end is near, started to tell each other how much they love, or apologising because of the past, blahblahblah... Nevertheless, we are still human.. we make mistakes.. therefore we should do our best to live our lives more meaningfully.. and rationally. Think twice before u do an action, before u say a word.

Along my way home, I got a sms from Seamus.. saying that our beloved Dean of Studies, Ms. Veronica Ho had just passed away.. u_u I was shocked and stood still for a moment when i started reading the first few words.. "I regret to inform that our Dean of Studies..." *stood still* ..... and then I braced myself to read on... I was told that she was ill last week, and we were to sign a 'get well soon' card to pass to her.. but i didn't know it was this serious.. u_u .. She was a really nice person.. although I don't really know her that well. I had a chance to talk to her in her office once during my 1st year, despite her busy schedule. I felt really honoured.

Have been really busy with everything these few months.. classes, assignments, projects, tasks etc.. But I'm sure I'm much happier than before.

some little story.. ☆~

One day, as a wise man was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up.

As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean.

He came closer still and called out "Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?"

The young man paused, looked up, and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean."

"I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" asked the somewhat startled wise man.

To this, the young man replied, "The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll die."

Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, "But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can't possibly make a difference!"

At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, "It made a difference for that one."


--

Humans always see the large picture, but never tend to look into the minor details. Say, pollution.. or global warming.. or bribery, or recycle.. whatever.... Most of them always have the same excuse, " Even if i don't do it, there will still be others that will do it. So it won't make any difference!"

It's really not what the end result would be... even if the young man threw the starfish into the ocean.. it might get swiped onto the beach again.. but that's not the point either. You can make a difference for THAT very moment, even if you can't make a difference for everybody else.

It's the heart that really matters... that you want to stand up, contribute what you have, and make a difference for yourself and the world, OR you're just going to be everybody else, indulging in your own ignorant and selfish world.


i hate words ~_~ ... takes me forever..
